I think just turning both of -0 and +0 into +0 works, and, FWIW, it is what is done in geo_ops.c (e.g. line_construct()) as a kind of normalization and I think it is legit for geo_ops, but I don't think so for fundamental functions like (d)asinh(). regards. -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
